Sultan calls for peace, dialogue at Muslim leaders confab
By Nana Musa
The Sultan of Sokoto, Sultan Saad Abubakar, has enjoined citizens of the world in general and Africa in particular to embrace peace and dialogue.
Dr Danladi Bako, a former Director-General of the National Broadcasting Commission, disclosed this in a statement on Friday in Abuja.
Abubakar stated this during a two-day Muslim World Leaders Conference in Oxford, England.
He said that these two attributes would engender social harmony and peaceful co-existence.
Abubakar said that the world would be more peaceful, stable and prosperous with dialogue by various actors involved in the current world challenges.
‘’Islam remains a religion of peace with emphasis on dialogue and this I will continue to propagate.
‘’This is the time for us to engender social harmony and peaceful co-existence as our guiding principle since Islam remains a religion of peace,’’ he said.
The Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies is an independent centre and University of Oxford affiliate established in 1985 for advanced research into Islam and Muslim societies.
The centre’s focus on promoting interfaith dialogue, inter-civilisational understanding, Islamic finance, environment issues, fellowships, scholarship and the growth of Muslim youths in Britain.
The Sultan is attending the conference, along with other leaders, to also mark the 40th anniversary of the creation of the centre.
The event, which included an Annual General Meeting of the Centre’s Board of Trustees, was declared open on Thursday by the Centre’s Grand Patron, King Charles 111.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the event was also attended by former President of Turkey, Abdullah Gul, Saudi Prince Turki Al Faisal and Sultan Nazrin Shah of Perak, Malaysia.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
